An astronaut travels to the moon. What is true regarding her mass and weight?

Her mass is the same on the moon and Earth, but her weight is greater on Earth.

Her mass and weight are greater on Earth.

Her mass and weight are the same on the moon as on Earth.

Her weight is the same on the moon and Earth, but her mass is greater on Earth.

Maglev trains, like the one shown in the picture, use magnet fields to travel up to 600 miles per hour. Magnets on the bottom of the train and on the tops of the rails have similar magnetic poles. Based on properties of magnets, how do these magnets affect the train?

The two magnetic fields repel each other, causing the train to levitate, or hover, above the rails.

The powerful magnets greatly reduce the force of gravity, resulting in less friction and greater speed.

The train is able to stop immediately because the magnets on the rails attract the magnets on the train.

Maglev trains have extremely powerful magnets, greatly decreasing the force of gravity and allowing them to float.

You rub a balloon on your head and it becomes negatively charged. The balloon will be MOST attracted to

another negatively charged balloon

Looking at the electroscope, describe how you can cause the two leaves at the bottom to repel each other and stay that way.

Touch the electroscope with any charged object.

Bring a positive and negative object near the top.

Bring a negative object near the top.

Bring a positive object near the top.

What could you do to increase the number of paper clips an electromagnet picks up?

increase the number of loops of wire around the nail

remove the nail from the center of the wire

spread the loops of wire apart on the nail so they do not touch

The basic concept of how a simple motor works is explained by which statement?

When a wire that carries electrical current is placed in a magnetic field, the wire experiences a force.

When a fan blows on a wire, it causes it to spin, creating a force.

When a fan blows on a wire, it causes it to spin, creating an electrical current.

When a wire that carries electrical current is placed in zero gravity, the wire experiences a force.

Which car is accelerating?

a car that rounds a curve at a constant speed

a car that travels in straight line at a constant speed

a car that is set to a constant speed of 60 miles per hour

Walker 2 moved faster overall than walker 1 by the end.

Both walkers had the same speed overall.

Both walkers had reached the same distance at ten seconds.

Walker 1 moved faster overall than walker 2 by the end.

The image above shows two opposite forces acting on a rolling cart, what can we say is true about the effect of the forces on the cart?

The forces are unbalanced, and net force on the cart moves it to the left.

It cannot be determined without knowing which man is stronger.

The forces are balanced and the cart will not move.

The forces are unbalanced, and net force on the cart moves it to the right.
